Abstract
Information Systems play a relevant role for primary health care in policy orientation and attention of users needs; therefore, criteria and mechanisms are required to establish whether in a specific strategy implementation, they provide adequate support. In this paper, a characterization of Information Systems that support primary health care, based on the model of community-oriented primary care is presented. A set of essential characteristics that the Information Systems should offer to support the primary health care was identified, with which it is possible to establish the aspects that require intervention to improve their support for strategy implementation . On the basis of the obtained characterization, the development of a methodology which will allow a more formalized evaluation is under construction.
